It was now two months later, and one of the Jedi Knights who had supposedly survived the Great Jedi Purge had been discovered as the traitor. Yoda had gone and confronted him; the Knight had no chance at defeating the diminutive Jedi.

Kitch walked around the base, looking for Scout. For the past two days, she had been avoiding him, and with the Force, he could tell it was something critical causing her to avoid him. He waited until she was asleep and snuck into her room. Once the door was locked tight, he woke her up.

"Tallisabeth, wake up, now."

Slowly, she sat up and looked at Kitch.

"What do you want?"

"To know why you have been avoiding me for the past two days."

"What are you talking about?"

"You know perfectly well what I am talking about Esterhazy. Now, I want to know what the problem is."
"I can't tell you. You would kill me; or at least stop loving me and hate me forever."

"Scout, no matter what it is, I will never hate you, and I would never intentionally harm you. Come on Scout, you can tell me anything."

"Do you promise you won't hurt me or get mad at me?"

"I swear it on my life."

"Do you remember two months ago, that night..."

"I remember all too well."

"Well, I found out two days ago that I...I...I'm..."

"What exactly are you?" Kitch asked, a weird feeling arising in his body, as if he were about to be executed.

"I...I'm pregnant Kitch."

"What?"

"I said I'm..."

"I heard you the first time. I just don't know what to say...that's great." he suddenly looked at her.

"Scout, as of now I am ordering you to take a paternity leave off of active duty for the Jedi order. I want you to still stay here while I go on the mission tomorrow."

"Kitch, I don't want you to go tomorrow."

"I have to go."

"Kitch, it's not just us we have to watch out for anymore. I don't want to raise our child alone, without you. I want you to not go."

Kitch thought about what had talked about with Master Yoda, about choosing between duty and family. He had made his decision.

"Scout, I love you both, and I always will. But, I have to go. If I don't, the Rage will get away and the Sith will keep ruling the galaxy. Even if it costs me my family, I must protect the billions of innocent lives that could be lost if he survives. This is my destiny, I can feel it."

"Kitch, if you go, when and if you return, I will not be here for you."

"Then I am sorry Scout. Remember, I love you."

Kitch turned and walked off without another word.

The next day, the ships loaded up and they departed to complete their mission. True to her word, Scout took the Jedi Counselor out and no one knew where she had gone. Kitch had not wanted to do what he did, but he knew it was for the best. He would have to find her later. Luckily, he had known which ship she would take so he had a homing beacon placed on board her ship.

Once the Jedi Council landed on Korriban Two, Obi-Wan and Yoda combined their force powers to search the planet to find Qui-Gon Jinn, Kit Fisto, and Mace Windu. It wasn't much work for the two Jedi Masters to locate the three on the far side of the planet in what felt to be a small cave. They took the Guardian of the Jedi & Ebon Hawk to the cave as close as they could and landed, deciding to go the rest of the way on foot. It wasn't long until they reached their goal.

Meanwhile, Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader sat in the emperor's throne room on the capital of Coruscant, talking about what to do with the Jedi.

"We must deal with them quickly, my master."

"Yet, if the four of us go to the surface, then they will get what they wish. No Sith has ever survived a battle on the surface of Korriban Two. Therefore, we will take half of the fleet and slag the entire planet. Lord Malak and Lord Rage shall accompany us. Order the fleet to deploy as commanded."

"Yes my master."

"Finally, the Jedi Order shall fall, and no one will oppose the Sith and we shall rule the galaxy once more."

Palpatine said, glee obvious in his silky voice.

The Guardian of the Jedi landed next to the Ebon Hawk in a cave that gave the two ships complete protection against arial bombardments. Obi-Wan, Kitch, and Barriss took off to find Qui-Gon, Kit Fisto, and Mace and bring them back to the camp.

As the group walked through the forests of Korriban Two, they didn't notice as a caped figure watched them from behind, noting everything they did, where they went, and other details. They were walking when a huge, four legged beast crashed through the trees ahead of them and then charged them. The three Jedi scattered, each one bringing to life a glowing blue lightsaber blade. The monster charged Kitch, causing him to fall back towards the edge of a high cliff, only he didn't know it. Finally, the monster caused Kitch to go over the edge, and with Obi-Wan and Barriss too far off to save him, he knew his time was finally up...then, out of nowhere, a hand reached down and grabbed his hand just in time. He was hauled up and over the cliff to come face to face with Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn, as alive as he had been during the beginning of the Naboo Crisis. Then, without warning, Qui-Gon's green blade hummed to life as it swung back, cutting deep into the beast's throat. They watched as the monster screamed in its death throws, and then fell over and died. As it died, two more figures walked out from the cover of a nearby tree. Kitch recognized Mace Windu and Kit Fisto immediately. He bowed to the newcomers, who returned it.

"We must leave quickly." Mace said, obvious concern in his voice. "There are others out there. Have you set up a camp?"

"At the ships. Come on, this way."

As they took off, Obi-Wan bowed to Qui-Gon, the man who had been like a father to him for most of his life.

"Master, I am glad to see you again. I almost can't believe it."

"I am glad to see you too Obi-Wan..."

Kitch did not listen to the two masters, but used his time to allow his thoughts to drift to Scout. He wished he knew where she was and if she was okay or not. But, right now, he knew he would have to wait until after this mission to look for her. He mentally congratulated himself for sticking the homing device on her ship before she took off.

Darth Vader, Dark Lord of the Sith, walked to the hanger of his Super Star Destroyer Executor. Right before the ship had jumped into hyperspace, a ship had landed. The ship, properly named Slave I, belonged to the young bounty hunter Boba Fett. He had contacted Vader saying he had captured a prize that would make the dark lord very pleased.

The door o the hanger bay hissed open and Vader stepped over the threshold. Boba Fett was walking towards him.

"Lord Vader. I have captured someone that may be of interest to you."

"Who?"

"A female Jedi."

"Where is she?"

"On my ship."

"Bring her to me."

"Yes, my lord."

Boba Fett walked back onto his ship and reappeared, this time accompanied by a red-headed Jedi that Vader remembered all too well.

"Well well well, look who we have here. So, where's you're boyfriend young Esterhazy?"

She said nothing, but looked at the Sith Lord with defiant eyes. Vader motioned to a squad of stormtroopers.

"Take her away!"

"What about my reward?"

"The capture of a forceless Jedi is normally nothing to me, but because of her ties, I will forward 5 million credits to your account. You are dismissed."

"As you wish my lord."

Vader turned and made his way to the bridge, where the navigation officer announced they were about to drop out of hyperspace.

"Good. Once we exit hyperspace, deploy the fleet to blockade the planet and then slag it. I want nothing alive down there."

"Yes Lord Vader!"

Vader turned and walked out to have an audience with the Emperor.

Meanwhile, Kitch and the others were back at the ship, filling the three Jedi Masters in on the plan to defeat the Sith. They were all talking about which Sith who would fight when Sparky, Kitch's astro droid, started to whistle loudly.

"What is it Sparky...Imperial capital ships just reported on long-range scanners."

Kitch got up and looked at the sensors, then looked at the others, a look of shock on his face.

"That's funny. Not one ship is being launched, and the capital ships are taking up positions at different places around the planet...Oh no. They're going to slag the entire planet. Everyone, load up, now! We have to get airborne ASAP!"

The group of Jedi jumped up and started to get things ready for launch. As Kitch started the Guardian of the Jedi, Sparky whistled again. Kitch looked at one of the sensors and paled.

"Energy detected. They're powering up all turbolasers. We have to go, now!"

Together, Ebon Hawk & Guardian of the Jedi rose through the air, just as the first shots touched the ground. As the ships roared through the atmosphere, the comn unit crackled to life.

"Kitch, it's Revan. What do we do now?"

"Can Bastila use her Battle Meditation still?"

"She can, why?"

"How good do you think our fleet would look with a Super Star Destroyer?"

"You want to board their flagship?"

"Isn't that what she did when she was sent to capture you when you were Darth Revan?"

"Good Point. Okay, Bastila is going to use Battle Meditation so we can land."

"Let's do it."

As Kitch watched, the fighters that had just been launched veered away as if they were confused, and Kitch took the ship, followed by Revan, to the main docking bay. He could sense the presence of all for Sith on the ship looming ahead. Things were about to get crazy.
